Progress and Disillusion

Libro Usado, Tapa Dura. In this influential 1968 essay, French sociologist and political philosopher Raymond Aron examines the central paradox of post-WWII modernity: why unprecedented economic growth, technological advancement, and material prosperity resulted in widespread social unrest, frustration, and alienation rather than universal satisfaction. Originally written for the Encyclopaedia Britannica, the book serves as a brilliant diagnostic tool for understanding the structural tensions that culminated in the global social upheavals of the late 1960s.
